We need
#ScottishIndependence3
to rejoin EU as a full member, gain back access to the Single market, freedom of movement and the protection it gives everyone living on Scotland
#YesForEU
First full council meeting of this term.
We proudly showed our yellow flowers and clearly rejected the Labour/Tory/ Lib Dem coalition, that will only bring regression to Edinburgh.
The Tories were voted out by the people of Edinburgh, just to be handled back control by labour.
💙 I was not lucky enough to have been born here, but I was fortunate to have found my home here.
My passion is visible and leads my life: I wholeheartedly believe the best for our country, my home, is independence in the EU.

@YesforEU
8 years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life: I moved to Scotland.
I did not have anything or anyone here, but with a small child and my then husband we came.
And I never turned back!
#COP26
cycle and march! 57 miles in the most dreadful weather you can imagine: Rain, wind, cold! But I'm happy and alive 🤣 (Inc commute from home to meadows and from Waverley back home, so not just Glasgow)

What an interesting talk with

about how important it is to be an internationalist country and the relationships that are already being built by MP's now

Today I had the chance to meet
@DuarteBueAlves
, Portuguese Consul in Manchester. Very interesting talk and confirmation that I am the first Portuguese councillor in Scotland. I believe I’m also the first Portuguese elected in Scotland. 🇵🇹
Obrigado
@MthMttCoe
pela reunião hoje na
@Edinburgh_CC
e pela interessante conversa sobre Edimburgo, a Escócia e a comunidade portuguesa. Parabéns pelo seu percurso e pelo entusiasmo que a levou a ser, desde 2022, a única autarca portuguesa na Escócia. Conte connosco 🇵🇹.

@TLDRNewsUK
I'm Portuguese, I live in Scotland and,believe me, England thinks they own Scotland and the Scottish should just 'smile and wave' to all their attacks.
What makes the EU & UK different kinds of Union? With the increased debate on Scotland’s place in the world and a new edition of the book out here are some of my thoughts. More info - - and big thanks to

The people of Edinburgh gave 19 votes to the SNP.
13 to labour, 12 lib dem and 9 Tory. No, they did not choose that majority. They rejected it. We actually had more 10.000 votes than 2nd biggest party.
So privileged to have been in a call w/
@NicolaSturgeon
addressed all
@theSNP
council candidates.
Her leadership is inspiring and I am forever grateful for the opportunity to stand in the
#council22
elections as one of Liberton & Gilmerton
@EdinburghSNP
candidates
#NewScots
@StrangelyCurio
I don't have or need British citizenship to call Scotland my home.
👉 Again, that's why Scotland will thrive more on her own: accepting people that love her, not just the people that happened to be born here.
I'm really proud of
@TomU_SNP
He did a great campaign and made everyone feel welcome in his side of the world! West Lothian council missed the opportunity to get a great cllr.
Next time, I hope things are different!
The cyclists taking part in
#PedalOnCOP26
left Edinburgh from Middle Meadow Walk at 8am This Machine Fights Climate Change. Cyclists will walk with bikes on march to Glasgow Green later lots of smiles and laughter at the beginning of the 50 mile ride
At the hustings last night.
Always good to feel welcome amongst the young members of the party.
Like I told them yesterday, future Leader and deputy leader
@eleanorzjames
That's where Scotland is way more advanced then the rest of the world.
👉 The underlying principle of the term is that national identity is a matter of choice rather than an accident of birth.
#SNP23
was very good!
Exhausting especially for a single mother (I took my kids), busy, and emotional to an unexpected level. Members opened their hearts to support important motions. I found myself with wet eyes on several occasions. Well done
@theSNP
delegates! History made.

Happy to be at Chinese New Year / Lunar New Year - Year of the Rabbit - celebration, of Edinburgh Chinese Community School at Liberton High School this afternoon
As part of the low emission scheme, I said goodbye to my lovely car. It's for the best. Thinking about our future and less polution for my kids to grow in a healthier environment.

Today we will be in the chambers and, together with
@EdinburghGreens
, we will be proposing a strong and fully structured plan for Edinburgh, if we are in administration.
No other cenário will give Edinburgh population what they need: a greener, fairer, inclusive society.
Massive thank you to David from
@LaidBackBikes
for his help and patience this afternoon.
The Trike is better for me, but both cargo bikes are a good solution towards our net zero target.

I hope the people of Edinburgh realise that Labour just allowed the Conservatives, who have lost so many seats in the last elections, when people of Edinburgh rejected them clearly, into administration in the council.
This is going to be very hard for us all.
And that's why I'm standing as a candidate in the next elections! Edinburgh is my home and I'm a very proud

Edinburgh named as 'most liveable city in the UK for expats'. Scotland's capital is a great city for all who live here. We benefit tremendously from people who come to Edinburgh from elsewhere and make it their home.

The SNP lead council has improved so many local schools, and built 8 new schools like this one - Frogston PS - in our ward.
